Abstract

A user's progress through a digital work may be presented using a progress gauge. One or more content dividers may be presented dividing the progress gauge into segments. Each segment of the progress gauge may correspond to a section of the digital work, and may visually represent an amount of content in the corresponding section of the digital work, relative to other sections of the digital work. A collection of digital works available for access by a computing device may be displayed. A progress gauge may be presented in association with one or more of the digital works in the collection of available digital works.
